WHO WAS HE? Taken from the Archives of Bullivants, Limited, the greatest inquiry and detective agency of modern times By F RED)ERICRC 1 EDDALE (Copyribt, 1910, by W. G. Chapman) E private official diary of Darrel Callister, man. aging man for Bul livants Limited in the London office, con tained no more curious and interesting entries than those relating to the celebrated Ashley case. By virtue of the story teller's omnis - clenco we are enabled to transcribe these notes, weaving there from the following terse narrative concern ing one of the cleverest attempted im postures of recent times. Perhapsit will help the clarity of the story if we allow Callister to be his own narrator, sim ply promising that while as a gen eral rule he seldom went out "on a case" himself, yet in matters of mo ment or of special emergency he oc casionally did so, and usually with c signal success-for he was one of the cleverest secret agents of Bullivants v Limited-the leading investigating t agency of its ...

Farmers' Educational and Co-Operative Union of America In aa MalttrsrEucdalMoinsetto Commercialism looks upon the peo- i pie as a crowd to "do." And they do i them. a It is not so much what a farmer :knows as what he does that wins on the farm. It is more often a condition of the 1 :nthd than of the body which keeps a iman down. The high price of meat does not i alarm the wise farmer who has his (mokehouse at home. f You are always at a disadvantage in talking to a man who does not know what he is talking about. Some of our would-be statesmen read so little that they know really nothing about political economy. i Most those who graduate in the high I tIchools of the cities take five years to unlearn enough to begin business.

Chapluza, P ALL forms of mod ern get-rich q u i c k schemes, di amond smuggling is the easiest and the most profit able. Captures are few, and while the risks are great, the rewards are correspondingly great." Thus spake Mark Manley, in reminiscent mood, the young-look. ing gray-haired special agent of Bullivants Limited, crime detec tors and solvers of mysteries, as he and I sat in the cozy corner of an up-town New York cafe not a thousand miles from the Great White Way. "So I've heard," I commented just to keep the conversational pot boil ing; "not that I personally know much about it, but I've read a lot, and I'm willing to take your word for the rest." Manley nodded, sipped his Rhine wine and seltzer, lighted one of his interminable Panatelas, and settled himself comfortably. Scenting a story ...

S~ine Reasons Fr It. , 'There are several reasons why murderers seldom receive their just deserts in Io~uiana: and in other States of the South. One reason is that it is hard to con ,oeive a case .where a jackleg lawyer cannot set up a plea of self defense that will impress the average juror. ,The much abused "unwritten law" is ze spdnsible:for many misrarriages of justice, but the ease with which a pettifogging jackleg law yer can clog the wheels of justice is responsible for most of the de ,lays of the law and the final it~inding of justice. Our lawyers ,do not seem to understand that .they are sworn officers of the .Court and as rigidly bound to secure justice as a judge or peos ecuting attorney. They stoop to all kinds of expedients to delay the machinery of the law and to throw dust in the eyes of ju...

Farmers' Educational F and Co-Operative Union of America Matters pEssecial Moment to i the Progressive Agriculturist C The barking dog carries no bones. Evil wishes, like chickens, come home to roost. a Money has no occasion to use a megaphone when it talks. Being self-satisfied is what you b would call conceit in others. One way to keep boys on the farm t is to hire more pretty dairy maids. It's always impossible to tell where an orderly woman will put things. e One never realizes how elastic the truth is until the gossips get busy. f Why most of us really wish to visit is to have some one listen while we talk. Men often swear to keep from cry- c Ing, and women often cry to keep from swearing. Selling the best breeding stock one has is a quick way to the stock breed- b ers' scrap heap. What a lot of time we waste in wondering about things that are none of our business. It is the fellow with a weak nerve who is forever rolling up his sleeve and showing his muscle. There must be some...
